Looks awesome. How is the movie?

[HyperRealist]

The movie is very good. I never watch a movie twice but I think I am going to watch it again tonight.

I'm intrigued by this, how much did you pay for it including shipping?

I think after currency coversion it was about $42 USD. Expensive but worth it. They did a fine job on the packaging. Just google the movie it gets tons of praise.

It came to £24 (~$40 USD) with shipping to Sweden.

I'd say it is worth a blind buy, especially if you are a fan of Gothic style horror reminiscent of Hammer. The package also has a 22 page booklet, the soundtrack and I believe they still include a digital booklet which runs at about 440 pages. Oh and to top it off, the package comes signed by the director and writer (at least mine did, don't know if they still do that). And as previously mentioned, they wrap it up all nice like, with a feather.

Reviews are extremely favourable.

This is how it came wrapped. Mine wasn't signed or numbered.

oh really? according to the site it should be signed and numbered?

This looks incredible. Had to buy it after watching the trailer and seeing the brilliant packaging.

Have you added it to the database yet or shall I?

Hey bud, I've spoken to the director (Lawrie), he apologised and says you should contact him, and he'll rectify this oversight.

Hope this helps.

No big deal. I don't really care.

Well, the option is there if you want it.

Just finished it and it was great!

VERY slow build-up, but it does deliver and when it does

It IS an independent horror and it shows a couple of times, but it don't mind that too much. Even though some actors seem less experienced than in your usual film (even horror) I feel it adds to the charm of the movie (and it makes the ending even more... Nah, won't spoil it for those that hasn't seen it yet ).

Definitely worth the ~$40 I paid and if it helps the director/creator/writer to produce more movies in this style, it's just an added bonus!

Does it come with that burnt candle, broken rock thing and a piece of broken glass as extras?

Because those are awesome and would be a deal breaker for me.

No, unfortunately not (but I hear you, that would have been great!)

However, if that stop you from buying this you might be cheating yourself out of a great experience...

I don't want to praise this movie too much (happened with Rush, a colleague heard EVERYBODY praising this movie, even me, and he was actually a bit disappointed when he saw it. He thought it was great but with the diverse bunch of people that told him it was great he had expected more than what it was), as I mentioned above there are a couple of places where the Indie parts show through a little too much but overall I was very pleased.
I also need to add that the movie hasn't really left my thoughts for extended periods since we watched it and my wife has expressed a couple of times that she wanted to see more movies like this.
